Topic, Astro-Breaker Suggestions and Game Ideas

  You said it needed a statement? So I wondered whether you could tell me what that is via my inbox.

What do you think of it?

  "Just so you know, I am fixing the bugs while I'm at it with the help of Hexicube, if he generously helps me with this statement."
o.O

  @Nachos: No, you can't be a tester as testers have already been decided. Maybe next time. :) However, you can subscribe to our newsletter to keep in track with the project!

Latest Version now availible! Includes menu, about section and music!

I still need to implement levels and lives yet... and I still need to fix these bugs!

  Can I be a tester ?

  You're welcome,just make me a tester :P
jk

  That's too... too... hard for both me and the player Masquerade, I wanted stuff like different coloured bricks but good thinking! I have no doubt in you getting an official in this game.

  What if there could be an option in the editor to have a rocketship flying around the level or meteors that float around and they deflect the ball

  Bump! I have made the latest version of the game, with sounds I made using AS3 SFXR.

Just so you know, I am fixing the bugs while I'm at it with the help of Hexicube, if he generously helps me with this statement.

Next Update:

  xD Forgot...

  uh...you dont need to know the circle area, just the distance from the centre...

  The New Bomb Formula:
___________________________

For the sense of the diagram, let's say the ball respawned in the Yellow Brick's target area, this would happen if it was a bomb ball:

  Don't tell me you don't know about this. Or this for that matter.

  @Simon: Thanks! Figured out what Math.abs() relates to. It means Absolute Value.

  yup.............

  Would Tangent be just Math.tan() then?

  nope a stands for arc so it's an arc tangent calculated on a second way.

  MARC, can you solve my problem?

Quoting manufan from Astro-Breaker Suggestions and Game Ideas

  @Birjo: I need Trig to Program the Ball vs. Brick Collision properly.

@Hex: Sohcahtoa was easy, also I think atan2 is Tangent, right?

  I posted :P
anyways, manufan really needs to learn proper trig...you know, MAN trigonometry, the stuff that makes 'almost men' weep :P

  I am sorry, but what does this have to do with with Astro-Breaker?

  MARC!!!!!!!!

Inbox!!!!

  thats sohcahtoa, the basic version of what you need to know...

  the 11th grade

  When? What Grade?

  They taught us that stuff in Algebra 2, and I didn't like it. I remember some of it.

  Now I understand sine, cosine and tangent:

Sine: Opposite over Hypotenuse
Cosine: Adjacent over Hypotenuse
Tangent: Opposite over Adjacent.

For example, if the Hypotenuse was 1, the Opposite was 2 and the Adjacent was 1.732 then:

Sine = 1 divide 2 = 0.5
Cosine = 1 divide 1.732 = 1.732
Tangent = 2 divide 1.732 = 1.15473441108545

Can someone verify this?

The link with Ball vs. Brick Collision is the programming of the ball using this along with more Trigonometry and Radians.

  @Chris: Congratz for the 200th post!

@Birjo: Why?

  @Manufan1: Well, if AS2 or AS3 wasn't so hard to learn, i'd help you.

  ... Please don't tell me you're creating all of this in the Actions panel...

  Hi Again, I have had a little trouble with my script so far, the error is that there is an unexpected ' ' encountered in:

_root.attachMovie('mcBrick', 'brick'+i,_root.getNextHighestDepth());

Here is the file (Not really a class, just displays my code) Error.as

Thanks!
